The Respondent Alberto Rendon was initially noticed to appear before the April <br />2013, Hearing Board when he did not respond to a Settlement Stipulation sent to <br />his attention in February of 2013 by the Environmental Control Office. <br />Respondent did not respond to the Hearing Board paperwork and did not appear <br />at the April 2013 hearing and was fined a civil penalty of $1,500.00 with an <br />additional $5,000.00 suspended penalty due if Respondent did not come into <br />compliance and maintain compliance within forty five (45) days from the date of <br />the Order.

To date, staff was able to assist the Rendon family in qualifying for <br />the SHIP program to have emergency repairs made to their septic system. The <br />repairs were made to the satisfaction of the Department and an Amended Order <br />was approved and entered at the October 3, 2013, Environmental Control <br />Hearing Board (ECHB) removing the suspended fine and reducing the initial civil <br />penalty due to the language barrier challenges that were a factor in this case. <br />Partial payment, $75.00 of $500.00 fine collected.
